The MILVAN Thermal Kit Environmental Test.
Abstract
The US Army Defense Ammunition Center and School has conducted a one-year environmental test of four types of thermal insulation systems in US Army MILVAN containers. This evaluation was conducted to determine the ability of these insulation systems to control the heat build-up within 20-foot containers which are being used to store ammunition items. MILVANS or comparable containers may be employed as ammunition storage facilities during contingency situations. Since high temperature levels have an adverse effect on certain munitions, hourly temperature levels and relative humidity levels within four test containers and a control container were recorded. This report describes and analyzes the data that were generated during this environment test. (Author)
